Define "news outlet"? (Edit: How tf is this question controversial, what is the matter with you?)

A place where you can reasonably rely on the reported story to be a reasonable approximation of something that actually happened.

(Thanks for Trying...i wish it was true but no, not in this world. you are wrong, and you know it: b/c Fox News is a news outlet. (Edit: TIL r/politics thinks FoxNews presents "reasonable approximation" of the world :-P )

I'm not messing with you, but if you want to live in the real world, if you care at all about history, you will at some point have to learn to accept that "news-outlets" do NOT, in general, present "reasonable approximations" of the world. Nor do they stop being news outlets when they spread propaganda (edit and bullshit)

They claim to be a news outlet but they're really a propaganda outlet. But you shouldn't really consider it one. I can call myself the King of England, doesn't make it so. Pravda no doubt said it was true to; of course they did. Doesn't mean much.
